'Casa dos criadores' video

The video above register the 'Casa dos Criadores' lounge. All the big 'toy art'are decorated fridges, it is a marketing campaign by Brastemp (Whirlpol).

'Casa dos criadores'

This is the 'Casa dos Criadores' lounge. At the moment of the shooting there is a show going on.
It is a really quick over view of the event - I was there for about 30 minutes.
Today, I plan on attending it once more and I will try to do a better registry here

At 'casa dos criadores'

This week, we have 'Casa dos Criadores' here in São Paulo. It is a fashion event in which young designers expose their work.

I am at 'Casa dos Criadores', enjoying my very first fashion event. Unfortunatelly, I dont have invitations to the runway. I am watching it thru the screen =(.

Gotta go! I am taking some pics, so check YouAdore later!

What I am listening to

Herbie Hancock - Chameleon (Live)

This video was recorded back in 1974, in Chicago.
Herbie Hancock is performing on Sunday with Macy Gray in a free concert here in town. So, I dedided to get to know his work. Good music always feels fresh, dont you agree?

End of broken-nail fuss

Are you the kinda of gal that gets upset whenever your nails break? Is that really frustating to you? The fuss is over.

In a beauty shop in Buenos Aires, I saw an ultra-glamazon talking about this amazing product that hardeners the nails. She was talking about how good it was because her super dermatologist and manicure recommended it.

Driven by her certain, I was forced to buy. I don't have the most fragile nails, but my tips always tend to split. The product is by Mavala (picture beside) and it costs around US$ 17.50.

Well, I tried and I already can notice the difference! My nails have got significantly stronger! Super Nails!

Happy B-Day, ENZOOO!!

Enzo, my brother, is 20 years old today! Can't believe it, my little baby bro is already in his twenties...

Well...happy birthday, dear! I love very much!

On my rain boots

Green, turtle-pattern rain boots!!

Around fashion critics wannabe

Yesterday, I got out of work at 3 a.m. Therefore, today, my boss let me go home earlier.

I am enjoying this little time to watch a lecture about Fashion Criticism at Escola São Paulo, done by Maria Prata (Vogue RG editor).

I will let you know how it went.

My chooka boots arrived

My Amazon order got to my house yesterday!!! Everything came just the way it was supposed to.

Snapvine-ing!

Did you hear my 'alô?' in the post above? I did it with a very cool new web device called Snapvine! I call a number on my mobile, talk, talk, talk...and the audio is automatically converted and posted at Snapvine! And can be shared here at the blog!

Prepare yourselves for a bunch of podcats here!

Hello? - first voice post

Adios Bs As! Where am I going now?

Well, my cab is arriving in a few minutes to head to the airport. I am arriving in Sao Paulo at 8 p.m.

This little get-away was terrific! Looking foward to the next trip (this year? next year? where to go?).

For me, the twenties are meant to be enjoyed with loads of trip, fun and splurge! I NEED to enjoy myself the most until further responsabilities hit me (kids and retirement fund).

Trips are ultra precious life memories and you just can't get enough! If you visit a place in your twenties, it will be completely different in your forties or nineties...the place changes and so do you. So, travel the most you can at all periods of your life!

¡Saludos argentinos!

Chicas, here I am in Buenos Aires! There so many Brazilians here that all the store vendors have already learned Portuguese.

I did not buy many clothes, but aquired all the items I planned to buy on my beauty list.

Recoleta, Palero Soho, Palermo Hollywood and Galeria Pacifico are the it places for shopping for in Bs As!

I have to confess that I have NOt been able to refuse the delicacies sold here. This country is know for its exquisite dulce de leche and tender steaks! Everything is cheap and I might be splurging too much!

Hasta!

@ Buenos Aires

Posting from Buenos Aires right now!

Buenas cuempras!

The main goal of this little get-away to Buenos Aires for me is to get out of town, eat well and buy make-up!
One of the goals is already being accomplished! In my first DutyFree opportunity I bought sooo many MAC treats (Studio Fix, Studio Finish, Prep+Prime, Myth, Flashdance, brush kit, eye curler, Base Tint and Make-up remover). Also bought Lancome Fatale maskara for me and two of my girls D and L!
The plane is about to take over! Adios y hasta Buenos Aires!

WiiFitness!

Videogame is not usually girl talk! BUT, if you are really an it girl, you have to at least be aware of WiiFit. WiiFit is a game for the Nintendo Wii console that intructs you to do aerobic exercises, practice yoga and improve body balance and strenght!

Well, basically, it is a game that is able to prepare a personalized fitness training for you! It is very revolutionary and stimulant!

When you start to play, it checks to balance, BMI (Body Mass Index), body control and asks you your age. It prepares a training program to you and keeps track of your improvement as you follow the program suggested!

If you don't have time to go to the gym, like me, buy a WiiFit! It is open 24/7!

Quest for CURVEX

I am spending a few days in Buenos Aires! Yaayy! I am leaving São Paulo tomorrow and returning on Sunday!

Well, during this little trip, one of the many itens I want to buy is a Shu Uemura curvex for my eye lashes!

This beauty apparel is a legend that I didn't know of! It is supposed to make a huge difference on your look!

Quest for Shu Uemura curvex in Buenos Aires! By the way, if I find it I will buy a bunch for my favourite ladies!

Dance like no one is watching

Just because we have fun by ourselves!

Gray stone

Macy Gray and Joss Stone are in their way to Brazil very soon! They are coming to do a few concerts here (not together).

Well, I hope to see both amazing ladies!!

Chics

Chic is a a celebrated site here in Brazil about fashion, beauty and behaviour. It is leaded by a legendary fashion guru named Gloria Kalil.

For me, anything published at Chic is chic. My picture and D's picture were published at Chic. Therefore, we are chic! Look at us here.

Fringes!

Forgot to tell you that I have fringes now!

After about 5 months without having a hair cut, I cut my hair on Friday! I will post a picture later!

Bloguettes meeting

Today, I had the opportunity to join 50 ladies and participate of a meeting promoted by 'Dia de beauté', 'Oficina de estilo' and 'It Girls'. These are celebrated fashion and beauty blogs here in Brazil. As I wrote here before, I have already been to the very first of this get-together and got thrilled about it. I had to go again and I will do everything to go to all!

I did carry my camera with me as I always do, but unfortunatelly I forgot the memory card. Stupid me! Sorry everybody! I sure 'Beauté', 'Oficina' and 'It Girls' will exhibit all the pictures Ivi (photographer and writter of 'Vodca Barata') took.

I got my very first gift bag from the meeting. It is the cutest blouse from Flan, a clothing store here in town!

Madge

Madonna concert at the Roseland Ballroom to promote her new CD Hard Candy is available here!

Help me with your vote

I have been in Macchu Picchu, but never been in the Big Apple! How crazy is that?

I running for a contest promoted by Melissa and the prize is a trip to New York City. Melissa is a Brazilian shoe brand here that produces super-fabulous shoes and sandals. The products sell over the world, have abig advantage because they are very affordable. Vivienne Westwood was the designer of the lastest Melissa collection.

I had to write a story for the contest and the one with more online votes will be the winner. I could have promoted my story here before, but I was shy (silly!)...The voting period ends today at 6 p.m.! I have no clue if I have any chances, but help me! Click here and vote, please!

The winner result will be available until Monday!

Weeping

Hey ladies! Today I woke up with a red right eye! I have conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the surface of the eyeball.

I got it from my work colleague and I can't complain about it because he worked complain-less. Of course, I don't want to be the little girl in the my predominantly male office =]!

So, I am suffering, but still working! Tears just won't stop going down my face...

Queen B headband

Did you watch episode 17 of Gossip Girl? I did (on YouTube). It was great (always is..)!

I fell in love with this headband that Blair is wearing in the episode!!! It is a Jennifer Behr!

Jennifer creates stunning hair addornments, check it out!

Hello Kitty is modeling

Japanese Vogue June issue will have Hello Kitty as a model in a fashion spread. It will show Kitty modeling the latest autumn and winter designs by John Galliano for the Dior brand.

Hello Kitty will be shot posing with the designer and enjoying a shopping spree in Paris.

This is not a joke, it is serious! Can't wait to see the pictures!

Blindness

Today, Cannes Festival is opened by the movie 'Blindness', directed by Fernando Meirelles.

It's amazing to see how far Meirelles is making in the movie business and I feel proud that he is a Brazilian. Former arquitect, both 'Cidade e Deus' and 'O Jardineiro Fiel', that were directed by him, hold four Oscar nominations.

'Blindness' is an adaptation of a novel written by Nobel prize winner José Saramago. It is about a plague of blindness sweeping the world. Everything collapses as a result of the disease's power and caos takes place. The piece presents a hidden side of the human nature, when it faces an unusual condition.

Kelly Osbourne

When the Osbournes were on MTV, my dad got me addicted to it. Watching it was like a family program...(that might sound at least non-usual)

Well, I got a ton the simpathy for that crazy family and I have to admit I like Kelly specially. I have been seeing pictures of her in the media and wow! She has lost weight??!!!!

I also adore how she always dresses modern and carries herself with a British rock/punk influence.

Look how her skin is porcelain-like! Gotta love the red lipstick too!

Obvious and waited cover girl

Of course, she is on the cover of Vogue.

Chooka rain boots

Late.

Late to the rain boots trend settled by girl Kate Moss.

Late because I haven't bought my Chooka rain boots yet (until yesterdey!! =]). What happened is that they are hard to find, pricy and the pattern availability is poor here in the tropics.

Late in the previous Monday night I bought them at Amazon.com. Yayyyy!! They will take a while to get here (delivery estimate for the beggining of June), but I will finally own not one, but two pairs of Chookas. The pictures shows the pairs I bought.

Later, folks!

Jam!

The thing about blogging is that the more you post, more subjects come to your mind that you would like to post.

In contrast to the previous days, I've been enough to remind myself all kinds of stuff that I would like to share.

I've always been a great fork-lifter, but lately I haven't been interested on eating any chocolate, cake, pie or ice cream. That's REALLY odd to me.

I like to eat, once in a while, brie cheese with jam. My favourite jam is made of cherry, strawbery and wild berry by Confiture Bonne Maman. This confiture makes its jam using 50 grams of fruit for each 100 grams of jam. The result is obvious, the jam is simply a delight to the palate.

I have the SATC premiere pictures!

The event of the night is in London, as I mentioned in the previous post. I am dying to watch the movie, but wasn't invited to the premiere =\. I hope I find it in the internet and don't have to wait 'til June, 6th (when it begins to be exihibited on the Brazilian big screens).

Before I talk about the gowns, I wanted to share a point: why isn't the premiere in New York? Never been in London, I want badly to visit the place, I have nothing against London at all (seriously!). However, the show has a sintony with the Big Apple that is undescritible, and the SATC girls need the city, just as much the city need them! For the most expected SATC event, the girls went to London?!?! Come on! I guess the the movie big bosses wanted to think outside the box, and ended up thinking without the box (I mean without their heads).

No more bitching about the city choice, my personal favourite dress was Cinthia Nixon's. She is wearing a black mettalic Calvin Klein and looks sexy and beautiful. I love it because, Miranda doesn't wear sexy clothes often, she wears pretty clothes, but is always so repectable that nobody can't take her seriously at work (witch is great fot her professional orthodoxy environment, that I identify with).

I haven't decided if I like Sarah Jessica Parker outfit. I have read that she looks like a pineapple, I couldn't avoid a little giggle. She is wearing Alexander McQueen, that she worships and I do it too, and has Philip Treacy on her head. The look screams Carrie and not Sarah.

Kim Catrall surprised me with a more fashionista look than she is used to present herself. Her look is signed by Vivienne Westwood, the cut is great, but I don't quite agree with the fabric choice, that seems too tough and doesn't hugs well her fabulous body.

Kristin Davis was no surprise at all, in a good way. She wore a vintage red chiffon Guy Laroche Couture dress and looked pretty and classic (very Charlotte-like), but didn't wow anyone.

About the red, Kim and Kristin must have followed the big RED trend set by the Oscars. For me, their color-choice wasn't the wisest, just because SATC must be avant-gárde and trend-setter, not trend-follower.

SATC premiere TODAY

Today the 'Sex and the City' movie premiere will be held in London!!!

Looking foward to see what the quartet is going to wear.

Bloguette rule number ONE!

At Mother's Day, mother (and father) told me that I must not let a day fly by without posting anything here.

I totally agree with them, because I hate when I visit my favourite blogs and there is not anything novel there.

I have been busting my a** at work and it will not get better this week. Lunch hour is getting closer and I promise to use it to do my research and post somethinf fun-fresh-fab here!

Yesterday, I spent my day behing my sewing machine, making PJ pants for my gals!

Garden

Style Bubble said and you can see it in the North-hemisphere magazines/fashion bibles, flowers will bloom next Spring/Summer!

Currently, in the South half of the globe, it is the principle of Autumn and I am now exagerating on solid colors! Overdoing on white&black contrast, a lot of grey and the pattern is only present as plaid, which I am wearing since the last year (so avant-garde! =]).

I have just obsessed about my identificaded need of buying or sewing pieces with bright and colorful florals. Look what I found at Topshop!

Thousand mark

Hello my dearest readers!!! YouAdore completed a thousand visits today! Yayyy...this is thrilling to me and I feel so honored to reach this mark.

Adore my space! I do it with loads of passion!

Cheers!

Adore Giffen goods...does it make sense?

I just remembered an economic concept and started thinking about it and really want to share it.

Since I studied Economics in college, that should mean I am an economist. So, let me have my economist moment:

In Economics, there is a concept named 'Giffen good' which is a good/item that is more demanded when its price increases (while everything else in the world remains the same). In other words, if a beautiful dress has its price augmented, more people want to buy it. Does this behaviour make any sense to you? For me, it doesn't.

But many, many times I am caught wanting the most expensive clothes, shoes, meals, clubs, makes, gadgets, bijoux, etcetera. Do I really want it for what it is or the highest price offers me a sinful delight?

What I am listening to

Devendra Banhart - Feel just like a child

One of Karl's adored songs. Ackward video, but great tune indeed.

Lohan at Ugly Betty

Always-in-party-trouble-but-do-care-about-it Lindsay Lohan will be a guest star at Ugly Betty (which I luv). Lohan will appear on the second season finale and the third season first five eps.

Tattoo your gadget

I saw today on Design*Sponge a post about a amazing service available in the www. The site is called Unique Skins that allows you to create a skin-sticker to personaliza your fav gadget.

Koi

Today is Boy's Day in Japan. This is when carp shaped kites (koi nobori) are seen flying around that country. The image of carps swimming upstream symbolize the strength of growing boys.

We have our turn too! Girl's Day in on March, 3rd and people display a set of hina dolls (traditional dolls) in the house, wishing girls' healthy growth and happiness. Parents or grand parents of a newborn girl buy a set of gorgeous hina dolls unless they have special dolls, which are inherited from generation to generation.

Mariah Carey - CANNON

Apparently, Mariah Carey got married to Nick Cannon (rap singer and actor) this week. The celebrity media is all about it and thought I would let you know.

I particularly don't love Mariah. I respect her singing talents, but hate her clothing-choices. Have you seen the the top-of-charts "Touch my body" video? Tacky and class-less to me.
